No car keys? No problem.

Welcome back to our Will it Wave series, where we challenge a member of the Keyo integrations engineering team to use a Keyo device to automate an everyday experience.

In this edition of “Will it Wave,” we follow Bryan Riley, an Integration Engineer, as he starts his car with a wave of his hand.

Keyo devices are designed to seamlessly integrate into any system or use case. We’ve made it possible to open doors, turn on lights, buy merch at a vending machine, and even order a martini from a robot bartender — — all with a wave of the palm.

Join us as we explore the possibilities of a keyless car start and make an everyday experience a whole lot more exciting!

Preparing for the integration

There are many remote car starters on the market, but Bryan selects the Drone Mobile car start, which is compatible with his 2021 Chevy Equinox and has two remotes plus app support. Bryan follows the package instructions with the Drone Mobile device to install the remote car start device.

Connecting Keyo and Drone Mobile

Bryan uses the following tools during the integration process:

  • A Keyo Wave Device
  • An Android tablet
  • A Keyo Dashboard dev tools account
  • Drone mobile car start

For more details on the integration process, please refer to the Drone Mobile car start x Keyo guide.

Will It Wave?

After following the integration guide, Bryan will test whether he can start his car with just a wave of his hand.

Success 😎 Bryan is able to start his car with a wave of his hand using Keyo. He can safely and securely start his car from inside his home without keys, creating an easy solution for ensuring your car is ready to go before you step in.

Where should we wave next?

So far, Bryan has unlocked his front door and started his car with a wave of his hand. Send us your ideas for our next “Will It Wave” video, and don’t forget to follow us on LinkedIn and Twitter for updates on the series.
